Everything is larger than life in this unidimensional portrayal of a universe where passion for dance overshadows all else. Despite its rather lame storyline, ABCD 2 does not scrimp one bit on melodrama.

The build-up, however, is both — clumsy and grating — what with nearly every dialogue uttered in the first fifteen minutes crying ‘cheater.’ Equally tedious is Dhawan’s attempt to rope in a drunkard Prabhudeva as mentor.Because…

As someone who wholeheartedly enjoyed ABCD, I have to say this has proven to be a disappointing and unworthy sequel. The film ends with a quote by Remo that says, 'Life is all about the next step'.

ABCD 2 is too melodramatic and too impressed with itself to be able to deliver an eye-popping dance spectacle that you expect and deserve.

If only director Remo D'Souza had curbed his enthusiasm and trimmed this film by a good half hour, it wouldn't feel like such a slog.

But then, the dance is so amazing and so baroque in ABCD 2 that you can’t take your eyes off the screen.

The film suffers majorly from poor writing and poorer editing. The film in the second half is as sluggish. In short, if you are a DID/Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa/Just Dance fan.

ABCD2 is the happiest film of the year. Remo's coming-of-'edge' dance-and-drama razzmatazz is suffused with a steep quotient of what the French call joie de vivre and what we down here refer to ascheez badi mast mast.Despite its…

ABCD 2 does not, even for a moment, pretend to be anything else but a dance movie. Which means if you go looking for a coherent plot line and an insightful portrayal of characters, you will be let down.

ABCD 2 is blatant about how little it cares for the writing. And it's very clear about its passion for hip hop.

The laziness in the writing just gets more and more obvious as the film progresses – usually in a dance film, you are waiting for the climax because that is often the grand piece, but here is no such yearning because you've…

Anybody can dance, but not everybody can watch them do just that for 154 minutes (the film’s run time) at a stretch. Enthusiasts, who

If you ask me, the performances are not a patch on the earlier movie; they are patchy, not fluid. Moreover, you lose the grip on the movie within the first 30 minutes after you realize that there is no plot to take it further.

You may be in for a surprise if you thought that 'ABCD 2' would be totally as you predict. Roaring towards the end, the movie is absolutely realistic which is a great plus and you need to watch to know it all.

Watch ABCD 2 because it is based on the inspiring true story of a gritty and fabulous dance group from Nalasopara that manages to reach the finals of world hip-hop dance championship in Las Vegas because of its talent and…

ABCD 2 is a fun watch for all those who love dancing. If you have two left feet when it comes to dance then at least get thrilled watching this.

On the whole, ABCD Any Body Can Dance 2 is a surefire hit. It has hit music, great choreography, brilliant sets, outstanding camerawork and superb masala for everyone. It will easily join the 100-crore club.

Our verdict? You should watch ABCD 2 irrespective of whether you are a dancer or not, because the performances more than compensate for the forced emotions, poorly-written dialogues and the badly-woven storyline.

The Times of India · Meena Iyer

Like most dance movies (made in the West or Bollywood), the malady we are hit with is that while the dancing is professional, the writing is amateur. So, you whoop and whistle when the dances are on.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
